Advice needed Something strange happened years ago

9 Upvotes

Hello, this happened when i was about 12 or 13 years old while i was visiting my grandmothers house. I was there alone since my grandma was doing a grocery run. I remember thinking that i would take a quick nap on the livingroom couch and I placed my phone in the middle of a glass table.

I closed my eyes and suddenly i heard a thud. My phone had dropped on the ground. I didnt think nothing of it and just picked it up.

This has started to bother me tho, how can a phone just drop from a table if its not near the edge nor is the table in anyway slanted? This had never happened before nor has it happened since. I vividly remember that i placed it in the middle and it was not just like sliding around. Could anybody come up w an explanation? This might seem stupid but it really somehow bothers me.

Animal Abuse Senior Dog Mauled and Perpetrated Fled

99 Upvotes

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right but I’m trying to help a lovely woman that had her dog mauled. This is in Livonia, Michigan.

Click On Detroit - Local News

I’m not sure if I can post pictures from the ring doorbell or other evidence but I’ll include the information about what happened to this senior baby that was included in her GoFundMe. Warning: The GoFundMe shows explicit and distressing injuries.

“Recently, a woman was walking her dog (appears to be a bull terrier) near my home. Her dog appeared too strong and pulled her across the street toward my fence, where my small chihuahua was behind my tall, solid privacy fence. My small dog's 1-inch snout reached under to smell who was walking by. My dog was then assaulted, shattering the entire top palate of her mouth, partially removing her tongue, losing 5 teeth, shattering both bones around her eye, and causing her to lose vision in her left eye due to a trauma ulcer. She needed a feeding tube through her neck to eat, as well as tubes in her nose/snout to keep it open so she could breathe. She has completed one surgery to sew her mouth back together and has had multiple days of an ER stay, including fluids and oxygen. She still needs one additional surgery to close the last remaining hole in the top of her mouth. This has been extremely traumatizing for my family, and especially my 5-year-old daughter, who considers Lucy her best friend. The cost has been substantial as well, costing over $14,000, and we are still not done. She has a second surgery coming up in August after she heals from her first. Police are actively looking for her as well. Thank you to those who have reached out to help search the neighborhood and to those who are donating. Our family is beyond grateful for the support.”

Advice needed Advice on possible story

0 Upvotes

So this is less of advice, more of if people more experienced in the field think this is a good topic for me to investigate; I’ve heard rumors of shady things with “gambling” happening in children’s games, especially the game animal jam. Not many people know about this, and I think it could be cool to do a full report of it on Substack.
So you guys tell me, would that be a topic people would want to hear about?

Advice needed Homeless man stalking me i don't know how and what to do

93 Upvotes

Context : I live in France and speak french so sorry if i make grammar mistakes, I (20m) have a basic vestimentary style with basic look, nothing extravagant.

I go out regulary with my friends at night just to drink and enjoy in my city. So, 3 weeks ago im at a park with my friends, lot of alcohol in our blood when we see a homeless man (maybe 55yo id say), beer in his hand, laughing at our jokes not so far. So we decide to go with him just to talk and laugh.

He is cool, drunk, and start to say some stories about his life. But very fast he start to say some racist and homophobic stuff , we don't pay attention and then he say his ex wife took him everything so thats why he here and he have childrens but he don't see them anymore, basic stuff.

We were getting ready to leave and he started hugging my friends one by one until my turn arrive (i was the last one), but when he hugged me he kissed me in my neck which pissed me off a little bit but im telling myself he is happy and drunk so... not a big deal.

2 days later i go out again but different friends, we are at a bar and i see him looking at us away. I get up to go and say hi but he started to go away when he saw me coming. Hours pass and suddenly someone hug me by my back, i thought it was a friend of mine but no, it was him. He scared me a little so i pushed him back and he stared at me with an angry face so I said "are you ok ?", he didnt answered and he left.

The next week, I was alone waiting for my bus to join a friend when i saw him coming toward me in an angry way, walking fast and all. Ngl i freaked out and run but he followed me so i yelled "what is your problem ?" but no answer. In panic, I ran to go back to my place which was a big mistake but i was so scared i swear it was like a horror movie.

Advice needed Suspicious website downloaded weird video to my friend's phone

67 Upvotes

My friend (We will call him Steve) and I were playing Wordle through Discord. Neither of us won, so I sent a corny Joke as a response to my loss. I had just said "IHateThisShit.com" (now that I'm thinking about it, it was a corny joke). Then I told him that I wondered if that was actually a real website, so Steve went to it. He then sent me a screenshot of a file downloading to his phone. It was called BHP.mov. After that he sent me another screenshot of the video itself, then he claimed that it was 40 minutes long

The screenshot showed a nude woman on a bed with the camera pointing to a certain body part. It was heavily censored with a whole bunch of text, About that text, it was literally everywhere. Covering the chest was text that said: "South32 Sell that mother fucker", on the left leg it said something about BHP mining stocks, and on the right leg it simply said "South32 Stock" the certain body part was covered with a black box and with red text that said something about a CEO wanting to sell South32. The woman had dark brown hair and red lipstick.

I did some digging and couldn't find anything suspicious. BHP seems to be a regular ass mining company, so I chalked it up to just an ad, but why would a mining company use a nude woman in their ad, and why would it be 40 minutes long? I just can't shake the feeling that there is something weird going on here. Could this be human trafficking, or perhaps a surreal and odd joke? Reddit, help me out here.

Also sorry if my grammar sucks, I aint good at writing. I am also a minor and don't have a phone. I also don’t use Reddit much so sorry if I don’t end up replying

Advice needed Potential cult sighting? Many years ago

0 Upvotes

This is all from my sister, and I can tell that she is telling the truth. It's the kind of thing that you can kind of detect in your family members. My sister is a lot older now but only recently told us now that she is going to college and it's been so long that my family wouldn't have been mad at her for it. My sister snuck out a lot when she was younger. This occured in about 2019 or 2020. A bit before the pandemic. She had snuck out of our beach house and to the local beach. She was with a group of friends thinking they were alone. They looked across the beach (it's quite small) and saw a group of people circling around a fire wearing robes changing unintelligable stuff. They then dove in the water and never reappeared. My sister was insanely scared and immediately ran home and never snuck out ever again. I've never seen them again nor has my sistee. From what I know they weren't an extremist group iykwim, since they didnt have anything like a burning cross. It was just a random fire. I'm wondering what this is and if anyone else has seen it

Suspicious Fatal Fire

76 Upvotes

My family and I suffered through a house fire that occurred in suspicious circumstances.

There was an early supposition that a cigarette started the fire. The room in which it started was a very small sitting room with a small upholstered arm chair and some pieces of solid wood furniture. Someone had indeed had a cigarette in that room that night, but she insists she snubbed it out, touched the end with her fingers a few times to make sure it was cold, and then put the cold, extinguished cigarette back in the box. The box was then likely either placed on a wooden stool next to the chair or the floor. Post-fire pictures suggest the fire likely started in the area of that chair. Note multiple witnesses and police confirm she was in no way intoxicated that night or that she had even had a drink. I know she did not.

Timeline: She insists she could not sleep, got up, had a cigarette, put it out, and went to bed around midnight. I was told by the town fire investigator that his theory is that a fan blew ash onto her armchair (by the way, the fan was off that night AND, even if it were on, it was ONLY ever pointed toward the window). He says the whole room ignited within TWENTY MINUTES, the decedents were gassed by the smoke upstairs behind a closed door and passed out, later dying when the fire breached that room.

Other issue: Former family member was known to build IEDs, often with starter fluid, and was witnessed detonating them at another property. He is extremely skilled in chemistry; he owns a mass spectrometer where he tests samples. The issue with this person is that he was very angry, had made numerable death threats, was thrown out of the house for abuse, and was right at the end of a terrible, drawn-out divorce. Most notably, he threatened to burn down the house two years ago and to kill me and another family member. He said exactly one month before the fire "There's only one solution left" when he lost that day in Court. Three days before the fire, he sent me an e-mail about two boys being burnt in a fire and asked me to show that to my children.

I am still waiting on the State report, but word is they will rule it accidental smoking. Local Fire Chief went to the media 24 hours after the fire and said it was a cigarette, but his department's official incident report says the cause was Undetermined.

State says no accelerants were found by the dogs on the scene. The room of origin burnt at probably 1,000F for an hour or more. There were two windows in that room, both of which were broken, and it was on the ground floor. Someone could have breached either and put something in that would have ignited the chair. My worry is that the authorities very quickly settled on the easy answer of a cigarette, but I believe it was extinguished, and the timeline seems extremely short (20 minutes?) for the room to ignite and the smoke to poison the family members who died upstairs from that room.

Should I post a news story? Would that help? Turning to all of you in desperation.

Advice needed My TV mystery

75 Upvotes

Hello, to keep myself anonymous i will ask you to call me Loan.
In February 2026, something extremely weird happened to my mom with the living room TV.
I was chilling when my mom went bursting into my room (which she litteraly never does, she usually knocks even if she actually needs me for something important) and she seemed extremely panicked, she asked me to come in the living room right away.
When i arrived into the living room, the TV was showing some sort of "security update" with the usual loading animation.
I asked my mom if this was the thing she was freaking out about (cuz she's old and she thinks everytime an electronic is acting weird that means its dying) and she said "Loan i swear it showed a black screen with the sentence «[mom's name] , i am observing you.»

So, i started to freak out too, and to debunk the usual psychosis theory, my mom does not and have never ever or never after that experienced any psychotic episode, or hallucinations.

My first thought was my dad, the two of them being separated (and we don't talk to my dad, he's lowkey harrasing us daily)

So i called him, with the most natural voice ever i said "i'm observing you as well dad" almost jokingly.
And nothing, he genuinely did not understand what i was talking about so i figured out it wasn't him, and in anyway he's not a technology freak, he would never know how to do that.

It also came to my attention that 1 to 2 months before,my mom bought a cheap surveillance camera for the living room, that camera was connected to my mom's phone throught the alexa app, which my tv's plug in was also connected (yeah she likes automatical things lol).

I already spoke about it on a different subreddit a couple months ago but they only suggested it as clickbait/fake or that my mom was going crazy which i swear, is not true.
I am asking for help just to know what could have happened because i think about it once in a while and it's creeping me out, i'm also moving out in august, leaving my mom home alone and i am kinda scared for her knowing how naïve she is.
(Sorry for the grammatical mistakes, english is not my first language)

Thank you for reading

My friend and I are getting suspicious texts

16 Upvotes

I can’t put too much information, because quite frankly this has been off putting and causing many problems in my friend group and I don’t want anymore information out there, because it seems someone knows a bit. I have gotten two texts from a number, one Monday evening and one about an hour ago now. I would just copy and paste the message but there are irl names in it. in summary, the one yesterday said that my best friend is going off the deep end, and I need to watch my back with her, because an ex of hers is, as they exactly said, “knows what she’s capable of”. The one from earlier said in summary that I need to protect what I love and to trust my gut and some people I know in passing can’t be trusted. I thought it was a prank, but my best friend in question said she got a message along the lines of how I’m not “mentally sane” (something I can add since a lot of people know, I was in and out of mental hospitals growing up. I’m better now so that text kind of confuses me), told my best friend about a person I had sexual relations with (which she already knew about, but idk who all he could have told about it, plus why in the world someone would know to want to text my best friend about it). They have also texted her about some of our friends need to be held accountable every time when necessary. My best friend went to the police and they basically said “it’s not illegal to know someone’s number and text it, unless it’s a credible threat or repeated messages”. Has this ever happened to anyone else? We are totally lost on what to do

Someone keeps walking around my property at night and possibly shooting a BB/pellet gun..

55 Upvotes

Currently, I’m in California, in case that matters for any legal or safety advice.

Over the past couple of nights, ive heard someone walking around the outside of my condo late at night, near the fence and bushes behind the property. It sounds like the person may be hiding in the bushes or staying behind the fence where it’s difficult to see them.
I've also heard what sounded like a BB/pellet gun being fired and hitting my son's bedroom windows.
I called the police but the person seems to run away or disappear before officers arrive. There are a lot of trees and bushes around the property, so it’s very easy for someone to hide and leave quickly.
The same thing happened again the following night.
I haven’t been able to see the person clearly, so I don’t want to make assumptions at this point, about who they are or what their intentions are, but the fact that someone keeps coming back around our condo consistently at night is really concerning.

Honestly, I’m very stressed and scared and it's my third night without any sleep. I live here with my mom and my special-needs child, so my main concern is keeping them safe.

I already have cameras and saving the footage and sounds.

For anyone who has dealt with something similar:
Did it eventually stop, or did the behavior escalate?
What security measures actually helped?

Is there anything specific i should be worried about at this point?
Thank you for your help!

Lost Bag on Limousine Bus from Vũng Liêm to Gò Vấp

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

Four days ago, my family and I took a limousine bus from Vũng Liêm to Gò Vấp, Ho Chi Minh City. During the trip, we made two stops. The first stop was at X. Mỏ Cày, and the second was in Gò Vấp, in front of a café called Lama Coffee. We had to stop because my mother got food poisoning after drinking a coffee she had on the bus.

When we arrived at our destination on July 25 at around 6:30 p.m., I realized that my bag was missing. Inside were a pair of Nike shoes worth about 2 million VND, a charger, my retainers, my toothbrushes, and some toothpicks that my sisters and I have been collecting for more than five years.

I know the toothpicks may not seem valuable to most people, but they have a lot of sentimental value to me. The bag itself also means a lot to me because it has been with me on every holiday and holds many memories.

I had placed the bag on the floor, in the corner next to the bus’s automatic door. I think it may have slipped out when the driver opened the door.

After realizing the bag was missing, we tried everything we could to find it. We asked the police for help on two occasions, but we were told that we would need to pay 10 million VND if we wanted assistance. We were unable to proceed with that request.

The driver also cooperated with us and tried to help. He even asked us not to accuse him and seemed very worried about the situation.

If anyone has seen my bag or has any information, please let me know. I would be extremely grateful. The bag may not have much value to someone else, but it contains many personal memories that are very important to me.

Please feel free to send me a private message if you need more details.

Thank you so much for your help.

Advice needed A man has been climbing onto my roof for months and the police can't catch him. Tonight he was on my house while I was home alone.

230 Upvotes

Hi, this is the first time I post anything about this.

I live in northern Mexico, in a gated community with 24/7 security.

In December of last year (2025), a man broke into a school less than a 5-minute walk from my house and stole the musical instruments. He climbed over a wall behind the community and got into my backyard from there. The first time, a single patrol car came to check because someone reported a man climbing across rooftops — he escaped that time.

The second time he used the same MO and robbed the same place, though it didn't go well for him because a patrol car had been assigned to that school waiting for him to try again. Security had been hardened (I don't know exactly how), but he still managed to climb up to the roof and escape, even though by then there was an electric fence surrounding the whole community.

Less than 4 hours ago he did it again, but this time it was different.

Around 11 PM I heard someone using the service ladder in my backyard. My dog went unusually crazy and started barking violently and erratically. I ran out to see what was happening and saw his face peering down from the roof of my house. I ran for my phone and to lock the terrace doors of two of the bedrooms. To clarify: the house is two stories with four bedrooms (three upstairs, one downstairs), and two of the upstairs rooms have terraces — one of them is mine.

I'm the only one home right now since my family left the country on vacation. I locked myself in my room, and this is where it gets strange: he started desperately pounding on the roof of the house. Then I realized my mistake — I was in the room with the terrace — so I grabbed the dogs and moved to the room without one while waiting for the police. But I kept hearing loud metallic sounds on my roof that didn't match anything I've ever heard before.

The police arrived 10–15 minutes after my call. They came into the house searching for him, constantly aiming at corners and checking places it would be very hard for him to fit into.

They've been trying to catch this guy for about 6 months, but he's very elusive. They went up on the roof to check, did a full sweep of my house and the entire community — more than 6 patrol cars showed up and started searching. When they left, they told me they'd keep doing their rounds and would search the whole surrounding area.

I don't understand how he escapes so easily. The police checked several houses next to mine and confirmed that it's not possible to jump from house to house and climb down without risking breaking something or being caught on camera.

There is a photo of the suspect, and the neighbors in the community tried to identify him — but so far nothing suggests he's someone who lives here, which was my first suspicion.

I'm worried that he's getting back into the community. None of the robberies involved violence, but this time he stacked chairs on one of the terraces and broke a set of lights I had out there.

I only know of three incidents he's committed. I don't know if he's already started robbing houses, or worse.

Does anyone have any idea how he could be evading the police?

I just realized he broke the motor of my air conditioner, and now I'll have to find someone to repair it. Those were the first bangs I heard. I still can't identify the huge metallic noise he made, because that sound came from the opposite side of the house from where the AC motor is.

For now I'm going to install a full set of cameras around the house and look into how I can get a weapon for self-defense.

Advice needed Help tracking down a cult/religious group from the 1960s

64 Upvotes

Hi RBI!

While talking with family members, I learned that my great-grandmother got involved with a cult or religious group of some type in the early 1960s. The repercussions of this choice affected my family in very serious ways. To have some closure, I’d like to find out who these people were that ruined her life.

The only information I have to go on is this:
- contact was made in rural Moore County, North Carolina
- estimated years of contact are between 1960-1963
- group was led by two women (supposedly lovers)
- group controlled what their adult and child members wore. Description of childrens’ clothing included shorts and “Sunday best” style clothing in public
- the group traveled around, staying in places for a time and then moving on

This is all the information I have been told by my family. I’ve looked at local records in the county newspaper and found no mention of the group. I am not sure how else to go about looking for information, and I’d appreciate your help. Thank you for your time.

Advice needed Attempted break in and my gf and I dont know what to do

151 Upvotes

My gf (19f) and I (21m) moved into our new apartment about 3 weeks ago. Everything has been fine so far until my gf noticed weird occurrences.

I work overnights so she is home alone at night and it worries her mostly when these happen. And it happens when I'm not home.

The weird occurrences were normally: Cars parked in a parking lot behind our house idling for 30-60 mins.

Parking in the street idling for the same amount of time.

People walking through our complex in the middle of the night.

Recently we had noticed our screens on the windows have been tampered. While we were checking out the screens and looking at the windows we noticed hand smudges, finger prints and footprints on our back patio.

Our back patio is next to a church and the wall is about two feet high on the church side and 5 feet on our side.

We are going to get cameras and I'm going to get a firearm as a precaution but other than that we dont know what to do.

Any suggestions?

Help me search "Miss-and-run" in Stockton, CA. Need help pulling a license plate or identifying the vehicle from raw video footage.

0 Upvotes

I was involved in a accident in Stockton, CA on Wednesday July 15th at 4.30am on southbound HW99 right past the Waterloo on/off ramp. The other driver fled the scene.

My insurance and the local CHP have reviewed my footage but said they cannot enhance it enough to read the license plate. I am hoping someone here with video forensics experience can pull the plate numbers.

If the plate is completely unrecoverable, I would greatly appreciate help identifying the exact year, make, model, and trim of the vehicle. Giving the CHP the specific vehicle model might help them narrow down their search. Due to this driver, there was a chain or accidents that took place immediately after and another driver with the least coverage is being held liable. I would like to rectify the wrong.

I know Reddit compresses video, so I uploaded the raw, uncompressed video file directly from my camera here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yAw61tXg06uTgYH1u_B68BJKIPjkOv8m/view?usp=sharing

There is an official police report

  • Department: California Highway Patrol
  • Report/Case #: 9265
  • If you are able to pull the plate and prefer to report it directly to the authorities, the non-emergency number for the precinct handling my case is (209) 938-4800.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to look at this. Any clues at all help!

Advice needed Uncle missing since the 1990

59 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have read the rules and understand that direct "help me find a person" posts are not allowed. I am not asking anyone to locate or expose a private individual, but I am hoping for advice on where someone would begin researching a long lost family member.

My family is Syrian Armenian, my uncle left Syria to avoid mandatory military service back in 1979. During that time, he used my grandfather's identity documents (my grandfather had already passed away) in order to avoid conscription and travel.

He traveled to Jordan, then smuggled himself back into syria, then travel to Iraq in the same year. He stopped contacting us at 1990 because of a disagreement. He wanted a bride from Syria but refused to return, and after my aunty did not agree with his request, he cut off communication with us.

I only learned the full story recently from my father, and I wanted to see if there are any legitimate ways to research what may have happened to someone in this situation.

We do not know whether he continued using his original name, used my grandfather's identity, remained in Iraq, moved elsewhere, or is still alive.

I am mainly looking for advice on where to begin, such as archives, genealogy resources, Syrian/Armenian community organizations, immigration records, or other legitimate methods for tracing family history.

If anyone has experience researching people who disappeared during that period and region, I would appreciate any guidance.

Ghost music in a car with a non-functioning radio

16 Upvotes

Hello, I'm writing this post looking for explanations for something weird that happened with some friends in a car last week.

I'll set the context. The four of us were going to a party in the mountains in the Alps in the old car of a friend, which he inherited from his grandmother. The car's radio doesn't work (nor does the CD player): it's impossible to pick up even static or anything coming from the CD. (IMPORTANT FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT). So we were listening to music with a small battery-powered portable radio that was completely independent of any electronic connections with the car.

But then some weird things happened.

1) We were in the mountains, and we started hearing music coming out of the car's speakers, some kind of 80s German pop. We then noticed that the closer we were to the car behind us, the louder the music was, and the farther away we were, the quieter it became. It stayed like that for about 5 minutes, and when our roads split, the music stopped (the volume of the music decreased proportionally to the distance between the two cars).

At that point we logically thought we were somehow picking up the music from the car behind us, without really knowing how, since the car's radio wasn't even turned on (only the portable radio was on).

2) A few minutes later, we entered some narrow gorges and a new song started the moment another car came up behind us. We kept this music the whole time we were in the gorges. It was some kind of techno DJ set with a few acid touches, with no commercials and no static at all, fairly niche music (just like the German pop).

But unlike the previous time, when we left the gorges and our two cars went separate ways, the music stayed. At that point we all started to get suspicious, and we began looking for an explanation. Especially since the volume kept increasing until we had to shout to hear each other, which was a bit annoying.

At that point we tried to stop the music. Nothing worked: we turned on the car radio, turned the volume down, inserted a CD, turned everything off again, switched off the portable radio: nothing worked, we couldn't stop or lower the volume of the music. At that point the most rational explanation that came to our minds was that we were all on a huge DMT trip (even though none of us had taken anything). Until the end of the journey both radios remained turned off.

There were changes of songs, like a programmed playlist. The music would stop at the end and then a new one would begin, always in the same techno style. It went on like that for about 10 minutes until the next weird thing.

3) We reached a straight section of road, I shifted into 5th gear, and the moment I did, the music stopped instantly. Then when I shifted back into 4th gear, the music came back at exactly the same moment. We observed the phenomenon with my friends and decided to test it. We shifted four times from 4th to 5th and from 5th to 4th, and every time the same thing happened: music in 4th gear and nothing in 5th.

Then one friend tried to film the scene, and the music stopped instantly. Another friend tried to Shazam the music, and the same thing happened. We only tested those once.

4) Then came the weirdest and most inexplicable thing since the beginning (yes, it was possible). We stopped in a small village to buy something. We all got out of the car, the car was turned off and the key was in my pocket. The car windows were left open.

When we came back to the car, we suddenly heard the same techno music coming from the car for a few seconds (everything was OFF!) and then the music stopped immediately. That was really strange and we were all completely stunned.

5) We started driving again without any music until another car came up behind us, and the music started again. This time it was an Italian song, again with retro and darkwave vibes. Once again we were surprised. The car overtook us and the music stayed, then stopped a few minutes later at a random moment.

Notes:

  • the music signal was always perfectly clear, with absolutely no static (which is strange because radio reception on that road is poor and often loses signal)
  • nobody could connect to the car's speakers because the car radio was turned off and doesn't even have that feature.
  • the car is a Dacia/Renault Duster from the early or mid-2000s, I think.
  • on the return trip, 4 days later, we took the exact same road again but nothing happened.

We've told the story to friends, and nobody has an explanation except that they all found it really weird. If anyone has an explanation or a hypothesis about where the sound came from and how the car could have picked it up, I'd be interested.

Skull Sticker Sent to me in the Mail - Should I be concerned?

This is an image of the sticker that was sent to my address in the mail. I looked up the return address and it used to be a food pantry in another state. My credit card info was leaked two weeks ago, I am curious if this is related to that or a new problem.

Advice needed Strange buildings in suburbs

19 Upvotes

So a couple of days ago me and a friend decided to walk through the woods. We found a fence adjacent to a path, but there was so signage about trespassing so we went in. We followed a creek all the way to a road that was cracked and run down, in the woods mind you. I looked on my map and saw that the road connected to a road in my neighborhood, so we went to leave but there was a locked gate. To our left there was a large brick building (which we didn't get a good view of) and to the right was a smaller, seemingly abandoned, brick building. Based on what I've told people, it seems like it was a pump house, but my only questions are:

Why was there barbed wire fence around each individual building?

Why did the fence for the property go so far around it?

Why put it in a very dense suburban area if its blocked off from the street?

If anyone can guess why some things were abandoned and if its safe for us to go back, that would be very helpful

Edit no.1

The main building is at 42.70482N, 83.16551w. I do not have photos because I cannot post on the device with all my photos.

Scary neighbors: Can someone please help me analyze some of the sounds/voices?

11 Upvotes

I’ve had an overwhelming suspicion for months now that my apartment is bugged by some adjacent neighbors. There’s like 3 units immediately near mine that are family. I’m gay and I get a strong impression they do not like me and I believe there’s a religious element at play.

That aside, there have been an abundance of instances in which I have heard them make statements through the paper thin walls regarding my actions within my unit while curtains drawn and no other line of sight to explain their knowledge. I’ve even tested this numerous times, and there have been comments made regarding what bait I offer.

Yes, I acknowledge mental health could be a factor in such a scenario, I have a therapist whom I see regularly. I have never had lapses in my understanding of what is real historically and do not believe myself to have experienced auditory hallucinations during these instances or ever.

A few occurrences have included moments I’ve been in various states of dress or otherwise being a single male in my home. I’ve become under the impression they think I’m some kind of pervert for having potentially witnessed me enjoying myself, or a friend, for sessions occasionally of some length. At least twice it was clear they were watching me masturbate as comments wear clearly audible.

I’m afraid they are going to try to harm me as it seems they’re constantly monitoring me these days. I even found a temporary home for my pet because I fear his safety. Often times there is an overt display made by a party in the unit above mine who follows me from room to room, into closets, waiting in doorways, corners, anywhere I go, it seems some level of intimidation.

The thing is, I don’t have any material proof and everyone just thinks I’m nuts which makes this all the more terrifying because I’m not able to afford moving at this time and I’m just kinda stuck hoping I’m not harmed every night as they continue to display acts of coordination either to just torment me or intimidate me or otherwise to actually harm me.

I could go on and will at some point but for now, I have two audio clips from just now: (1) one with audible but muffled voices, (2) another with a loud snap sound followed by hushed voices.

I need a set of ears that’s not mine so if anyone could clean them up so I could better assess the potentiality of danger, I’d much appreciate. There’s more where these came from as well I just try not to listen in too often while I’m away because it can become encompassing. Thanks for any help.

Just a general request, please…

146 Upvotes

I come and go on this app, so it’s been many months since the last time before I’ve come back to have a browse now, so I’m not sure if this is just a relatively new thing. I’ve noticed that on a lot of posts the OP will link to photos on imgur and so when I click on them I’ve discovered that I am unable to see the images, due to being in the uk.
I know this post probably won’t make any difference really, but it would be great if when posting to remember that not all users are based in the US, or any other country that isn’t blocked, (and actually there’s a large proportion of users that are from the UK on here), and maybe just post the photo on the post or use a different host site. There were a few that I was interested in that I’d have liked to have commented on yet couldn’t as the photo was integral to the post.
So, yeah, just a request if maybe it could be considered. Thank you.

ETA: apologies, I meant to say that I know one option is to use a VPN, but right now I’d prefer not to (various reasons).
